GLESSULA. 393 



shells possesses only eight whorls and measures 20 x 9'5 mm. ; it 

 is ornamented with a single, narrow, fuscous, supra- peripheral 

 band below which occur several fuscous spiral lines. The 

 Beddome collection also contains eight specimens from the 

 Anamullay Hills, labelled G. subserena, which I refer to the new 

 species. None of these is ornamented with any fuscous spiral 

 bands or lines.

The portion of the diagnosis placed in square brackets has 

 evidently crept in through some printer's error and greatly 

 puzzled me at first until this fact dawned upon my mind. 



Beddome states that the species only differs from G. textilis 

 and G. tornensis, both of Blanford, in its beautiful coloration. 



Pour specimens in the Beddome collection, from Peermede, 

 only differ from G. textilis in having a broad pale zone just above 

 the periphery, while some have narrow subsutural lines and a 

 patch on the columella. Hanley's figure of the species is more 

 conoid than these.
